Boxing day - 2010






What a better way to spend boxing day than out on the water!! Well the cricket was crap, so we hung out on Rosemary Island. When we first pulled into a bay called Chookie Bay, there were about 5 sharks between us and the beach so we decided to pull anchor and move somewhere else! The kids are having a fat time on the water and they are swimming with so much confidence these days. Jacko was a tad fearful of getting in the water, the sharks spooked him i think! We went to Bec and Ropeys in the evening for a dinner!! All good!

Xmas Day 2010 - Karratha






Xmas was different this year, for a few reasons....... We were all away from our families, it was pretty hot (like 39 degrees @ 9am kinda hot), we looked for a Pilbara orphan (and found one) and Sammy was doing anything to reduce his debt! He walked around the block at the hottest time of the day with his gingerbread man suit (what the??) on for $50.
Robyn cooked a spectacular luncheon of roast turkey meat and an nblvbl cheesecake. We boughta ham from the naked butcher in Mundaring and flew it back with us and we are making inroads into getting through it. Robyn scored an iPad, which she thoroughly loves and can read the Oz when she gets up. The kids were totally spoilt, but why shouldn't they be and i received a fabulous tide watch and a weber BBQ for the boat that i am warming to! ALl in all it was a fabulous day and i got to spend it with 5 of my most favourite people in the whole wide world. We moved the house around to fit Jack in, its quite busy with 4 kids!
